Well, that turned out pretty much exactly how people were expecting it to, so I'm not surprised. I am pleased to see more NDP in parliament though: good for them! My riding went liberal, of course. I'm also glad to see a relatively high voter turnout. Yay!
Now, I am going to make a long-term prediction. I bet this government will last another two years. We know Paul Martin isn't coming back. I am making a bet that the liberal take this time to clean up,, or at least change their clothes and put on some fresh deodorant, and that Frank McKenna will be back in politics, at the head of the party and as PM of Canada, fresh back from the US with good connections to protect our interests there (or that's how they'll bill it). ten years on, and ten years off... it's like they planned it this way. And then the world will phear the power of... the Hustler!
edit: I'm not alone in my thinking. Frank Frank Frank!
I will say that although I'd vote for Frank again in a second, I'm not sure I would vote Liberal, necessarily. It would depend on a bunch of things. Of course, depending on what happens between now and then, I may or may not even be able to vote. Depends on when it is called, and where I've been living :/

Lordy...
I'll never forget what he said during the whole "Miramichi River is polluted by REPAP" thing.
"There is nothing wrong with the water in the Miramichi River, *wink* I've been walking on it for years."
ahh Liberal humor

And I'm not sure about the Conservatives being able to keep quiet. It seems to me that the crazy element is so very crazy that they might not be able to keep their mouths shut for even two years. Didn't some of them start their intolerant yap as soon as they thought they'd get a majority but before the election happened (and how stupid are they)? I mean, last election, Harper himself walked into the maritimes and INSULTED the populace -- for some reason he thought that would be a smart idea. Face it, as a party, they're not known for their ... er ... restraint.

I'm not sure if the worst case would be another election in two years, or that the crazies run rampant but everyone else is too timid of forcing another election to properly reign them in.
Anyway... I am generally satisfied with how things went last nihht, let's just see how they go from here.
